Description

Many software applications are backed by powerful relational database systems, meaning that the skills to be able to maintain a SQL database and reliably retrieve data are in high demand. With its simple syntax and effective data manipulation capabilities, SQL enables you to manage relational databases with ease. The SQL Workshop will help you progress from basic to advanced-level SQL queries in order to create and manage databases successfully. This Workshop begins with an introduction to basic CRUD commands and gives you an overview of the different data types in SQL. You'll use commands for narrowing down the search results within a database and learn about data retrieval from single and multiple tables in a single query. As you advance, you'll use aggregate functions to perform calculations on a set of values, and implement process automation using stored procedures, functions, and triggers. Finally, you'll secure your database against potential threats and use access control to keep your data safe. Throughout this Workshop, you'll use your skills on a realistic database for an online shop, preparing you for solving data problems in the real world. By the end of this book, you'll have built the knowledge, skills and confidence to creatively solve real-world data problems with SQL.

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

I use this as a reference for my work which is very SQL heavy. I've learned a few new things and it has been a great resource to use to review materials. Definitely recommend.

I enjoyed reading the book and as I am updating myself, the book is a great summary in the area of SQL programming and very handy.

Wm.Brutzman Jul 26, 2021

I like this book. That this book works as a hands-on with abundant and meaningful exercises.This book is perhaps the best book for those diving-in to SQL for the first time _ and for intermediate users. The book would be a good choice for a one semester “SQL-101” course. The book is clearly written, well-written, understandable and enjoyable.Many SQL books are overly complex. This book finds the sweet spot in explaining key principles of SQL.The book well covers the fundamentals of SQL via MySQL. The book is a useful reference.A person who grasps the things in this book will be in demand _ able to land _ and keep a good job _ with many companies.Working the angles…Because find Oracle’s installation of MySQL to be challenging _ with too many advanced options _ installing the open-source _ MariaDB _ is a good alternative. MariaDB is a version of MySQL _ written by the engineers who were the original designers of MySQL. The install of MariaDB is painless.Likewise, I like using the open-source tool “Heidi SQL”. Heidi has a GUI (graphical user interface).With MariaDB and Heidi _ it is possible to work through many of the exercises _ faster.A good choice for an additional chapter in the forthcoming 2nd edition would be _ Temp Tables. I consider SQL to be “brittle” in that many examples of data are programmatically tricky. Another factor is database speed when attempting complex joins. Temp tables go a long way to simplify number crunching and grabbing only the minimum data necessary.Although there is much buzz with NoSQL databases _ I have found that the schema-less _ free-form nature of NoSQL_ is not the best choice for large projects with many tables and many programmers. Likewise, NoSQL is a challenge for newbies to grasp. MySQL is forever.Also _ there are many YouTube and other SQL video resources available. While I am a big fan of video learning _ the book The SQL WorkShop _ is a better, stronger, faster _ perhaps the best and fastest _way to get up-to-speed on SQL.

this book will take you from beginners to advanced level to learn all the concepts of T-SQL-Siddharth Poddar

Charles Tucker Jun 03, 2021

SQL is an essential tool for data analytics and data engineering, and this book does a good job of covering the basics and introducing more advanced topics. The title is fitting, as you use MySQL to gets hands-on experience with the concepts in the book.The book starts with the basics of introducing SQL, DDL, and DML, covers creating databases/tables, querying, joins, case statements, subqueries, stored procedures, built-in functions, triggers, access control, aggregate functions, and window functions.I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to get started with SQL or has a basic knowledge and would like to become more proficient.
